Balance transfer

This card does not offer a balance transfer rate.

Cost to carry a balance
Interest for a year at 20.49%$614.70
Annual / periodic fees$0
Total yearly cost$614.70

Simple interest on a constant balance — a plain-language upper bound rather than an amortisation schedule. Paying in full each month within the 21-day grace period avoids the interest entirely.
